>>35414245>>35415701Personally, I wouldn't mind the change had it happened in the hands of a better developer that knew how to make proper 3D modeling. Instead we got a bunch of hacks who are so lazy they even dared to "timeproof" their very first +600 rushed models. With how these last 2 generations have been going, I'm starting to think these models will stay untouched forever (bar design errors like Glameow).
I think a combination of 2.5D stylized overworld (sort of what we were getting with HGSS and BW but better) and better 3D models would be fantastic. I mean, if they managed to make the battle animations more dynamic and the pokemon more "reactive", 3D could really help bring a lot of life to these creatures while maintaining the RPG design policy thanks to the 2D overworld.
And this is coming from someone who loved the sprites and wishes they went back to them.
What I seriously don't understand is why GF doesn't hire more people. Fuck's sake, this isn't 1993 anymore where a project that would barely be up to the standards of todays indies could be excused.
They're the heads of a millionaire franchise, why the hell don't they hire more and better experienced people...
